Interrupt my high
A Brand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without saying what she is aiming for.
And out of nowhere she denies any relation
Acting all surprised.
Chorus:
Come on
You interrupt my high,
You interrupt my high, high, high, high,
Goodness gracious, leave me be
I tell you what you wanna hear
And if I'm not you turn the plot
The way you want me to say it.
Chorus x 2
The lyrics to "Interrupt my High" by A Brand depict a relationship where one partner is manipulative and deceitful. The first verse describes how the singer's partner has a way of doing things without being upfront about her intentions, and can deny any wrongdoing suddenly without any explanation. This behavior is confusing and frustrating for the singer, as they cannot trust their partner's words or actions. The chorus then emphasizes the impact of the partner's behavior on the singer's emotional state, as they are interrupted from their "high" by this constant manipulation.
In the second verse, the singer pleads for their partner to leave them alone and to stop twisting their words. They feel like they are constantly saying what their partner wants to hear, only to have it turned against them when it is no longer convenient. This is further evidence of the partner's manipulative behavior, as they use the singer's words as a means of control. The chorus is then repeated, emphasizing the frustration and confusion that the relationship brings.
Overall, the song is about the toxicity and ultimately damaging nature of a relationship that is built on manipulation and deceit. The partner's behavior interrupts the singer's ability to be happy and content, and instead leaves them feeling frustrated and confused.

She has a way of doing what she's doing
She is skilled at achieving her desired outcome
Without saying what she is aiming for.
She keeps her goals to herself
And out of nowhere she denies any relation
She denies any involvement
Acting all surprised.
She pretends to be unaware
Come on
An expression of annoyance
You interrupt my high,
You are disrupting my peace and enjoyment
Goodness gracious, leave me be
Stop bothering me
I tell you what you wanna hear
I say what I think will please you
And if I'm not you turn the plot
If I don't comply you manipulate the situation
The way you want me to say it.
You want me to say what you want to hear
Chorus x 2
Repeats the frustration of being interrupted and the desire to be left alone
